LEAD FOR INVADERS

Armed Mexicans Cross the Boundary Line
and Attempt to Intimidate the Amer
lean Authorities Into Releasing a Pris-
oner-The Invaders Driven Back After
Skirmishs in Which One of Their Num-
Der Is Mortally Wounded.
NoGALEs, A. T., March 5-Thursday
night Deputy Sheriff Speed saw Lieutenant
Guiltereg with four armed soldiers cross
ing the bridge over small dry creek in to
the United States. He summoned two
men to his assistance and confront
ed the party in front of the
American custom house. The Mexican
Lieutenant drew a revolver and
demanded the release of a Mexican named
Rincan, whom they supposed the Ameri-
can authorities were holding as prisoner.
The Lieutenant's revolver was taken away
and he was made a prisoner, but
other Mexican soldiers who had been
concealed in the beds of the
creek came forward and effected
his release. A regular pitched battle then
took place between the three Americans
and the Mexican soldiers, the latter re-
treating across the line into Mexico, the
Americans following and shooting until
their weapons were empty. By this time
the American population was aroused and
every man who could procure weapons
armed himself, expecting an attack from
the Mexican soldiers who had been ordered
out by their commander 1t is rumored
that one of the Mexicans was mortally
wounded. More trouble is looked for.
Acting United States Consul Grozcloso
has made a demand on the Mexican au-
thor1ties for the Lieutenant who command
ed the invading party.
Governor Jones has been advised of the
situation and is expected here. General
Miles has been requested by the United
States Attorney at Tucson to send troops
here Immediately, and the Captain of the
home guard at Crittenden has been re.
quested to forward all available arms and
1000 rounds of ammunition for arming the
citizens
